The Gambler

The fictional city of "Roulettenburg" was modeled on two German spas -- Baden-Baden and Weisbaden. For a tour of Baden-Baden sites, click here. For scenes from current-day Wiesbaden, see below.

"It was a half mile to the Casino. The way was through an avenue of chestnuts to a square, going round which, they came out straiht on the Casino."

"We all went into the part by the Casino. Polina sat down on a seat facing the fountain."

"I stepped off the path into the avenue, and stood waiting for the Baron and the Baroness. When they were five paces fro me I took off my hat and bowed."
